What they care about

Arts and culture, community and disaster and crisis relief are the core causes that drive my passion and shape my commitment to helping others every single day

    Tulsa, we need to step up for our own. Recently, our community has taken hit after hit on our roads. We lost Anna Allen, a beloved Miller Swim School instructor whose retired parents are now considering taking out a mortgage just to afford her funeral. We’re fighting alongside William Wilkerson II, who is battling severe trauma in the hospital after a driver ran a red light. And we continue to mourn the tragic losses of Joshua Holahta and Donnell "DC" Dabney. When the crash is cleared and the streets reopen, the world moves on. But these families are left facing crushing medical bills, funeral costs, and lost wages alone. That’s why PACE Tulsa created the Accident Victims Hope Fund. 100% of your donation provides immediate emergency relief to families in crisis and funds vital public safety education to stop this from happening again. Here’s our mission today: DONATE: Hit the link below (or in bio). Even $5 makes a massive difference. SHARE: If your wallet is light, we still need you. Add this to your story or send it to your group chats. STAY SAFE: Watch for riders and pedestrians, and respect the crosswalks. Safer streets don't happen by accident. Let’s show these families they aren't fighting alone.
    Accident Victims Hope Fund: Support Tulsa Families ​Organized by PACE Tulsa Community Supporters ​Behind every traffic headline is a life cut short and a family suddenly thrust into an unimaginable nightmare. Recently here in Tulsa, our community felt this pain deeply with the tragic passings of Joshua Holahta on I-44 and Donnell "DC" Dabney near 66th and Lewis. These losses are stark reminders of the severe dangers pedestrians face on our roads every day. ​In those first critical hours after a crash, grieving families aren’t thinking about street design or municipal codes. They are left scrambling to cover unexpected funeral expenses, hospital bills, and missed work while navigating a confusing system. That is where families get left behind—the police clear the wreckage, the lane reopens, and everyone else moves on, but the financial wreckage remains. ​Our $4,500 Annual Goal & Where the Money Goes ​Every dollar raised through this fund goes directly toward real, measurable relief: ​Direct Family & Memorial Relief: Immediate cash assistance to cover urgent funeral, burial, medical, and daily survival costs for Tulsa families recovering from a severe or fatal crash. ​Emergency Guidance Helping families connect with critical legal and medical resources during their darkest hours. ​Safety Advocacy A portion of funds supports PACE Tulsa’s ongoing crosswalk awareness and safety work at PACETULSA.COM to prevent future tragedies. ​How Your Contribution Helps ​$25 covers immediate emergency resource guides for a family in crisis. ​$50 supports local safety education and advocacy tracking. ​$100 helps sustain family crisis response efforts for a full week. ​How You Can Help Today ​Donate No amount is too small. Every contribution brings us closer to our monthly goal and gives a grieving family vital breathing room. ​Share If you cannot give right now, sharing this link in group chats or on social media makes a massive difference. ​Drive Safe Slow down, watch out for pedestrians, and respect crosswalks across Tulsa. ​Safer streets aren't built through luck. They are built when we take care of each other. ​Visit PACETULSA.COM to learn more. In memory of Joshua Holahta, Donnell "DC" Dabney, and all those affected, thank you for standing with Tulsa families.
